AUTHOR: Sune Persson is a retired Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science at the University of Gteborg, Sweden. Despite saving tens of thousands of lives, Sweden's mission to rescue prisoners from Nazi concentration camps on a transport of white buses was fraught with conflict and controversy, including negotiations between its leader Folke Bernadotte and Heinrich Himmler. The first edition of this work was published in Sweden in 2002 as Vi ker till Sverige: De vita bussarna 1945 (We are Going to Sweden: The White Buses in 1945).
